Actually, I understood you better than you did, I think. :-)

1. Assuming an attack came on, oh, for old time’s sake, 9-11 (al-Qaeda seems
to enjoy this kind of Islamic brand of numerology), I certainly wouldn’t
blame Kerry, I’d blame the perps.
|
But you wanted to plant the notion that such an attack would be to aid Kerry,
regardless of what Kerry would want. It was just the spin you had to put on it
when it really didn’t address the question.
| |
2. Second, I think that there would be a very real possibility that Kerry
would win the election because everyone would blame Bush (as what
happened in Spain).
|
If people tie it to the dubious Iraq war, maybe, but they seem to still support
that, so maybe not. If they tie it to 9-11, only if he was non-vigilent.
Otherwise, rally round the flag, boys.

3. I wouldn’t like it if we were attacked, Bush got reelected, and then the
Left cranked up the rhetoric another notch at a time when it would be more
important than ever to come together as a nation (in the case of some nuclear
disaster).
|
This scenario is about Bush avoiding an election, not winning it. Note how you
keep trying to shift this to attacks on the left rather than just stick to the
scenario at hand? You do this all the time, John.
| |
I wouldn’t even mind if Kerry got elected if it resulted in the Left taking
the war on terrorism more seriously.
|
I wouldn’t mind Bush getting elected if the Right would start taking the war on
terrorism intelligently. :-)
Well, I lied. A) Bush and intelligence are not two words that coincide. B)
There’s a whole host of other problems with Bush regardless of his bungling
wars.
